New Band Looking for Poster/Myspace/Presskit Artwork

We're a new rock band looking for some pro design for our main logo and myspace/posters/presskits. We've always enjoyed the posters from band like the hellacopters, turbonegro, refused, queens of the stoneage, etc.

We're independent so don't have a huge budget. Band name is "Darlings of Chelsea" and we have some rough ideas of what would look cool. Either a Metropolis style look or a old-english style music/school book would be cool. Lemme know how much this kind of thing would cost and show me some examples of what you can do.

What do you mean by you will do it yourself? If you are looking for someone to do the poster and then you use it for the myspace design...then you're looking at buy the design flat out for your use and most people are gonna charge you for that...

The jokes will continue unabated. Do what you would do with any other professional service - research the people that do this. If you see a number of posters from someone that you like then contact them directly and negotiate a fee and mode for going about the work (they will likely be able to help you to do this in a far easier fashion as opposed to going in with a "this is what we are going to do" mentality.) Hire good people at a price everyone is comfortable with ahead of time and then let them do what they do best.
